Due to the ongoing building works, the College is currently closed to members of the public. However, we welcome visits from prospective applicants and alumni. If you are visiting, please stop by the Porters' Lodge in Old Court or Memorial Court and let the Porter know that you are here.
The College has facilities spread across three sites. The main site, Old Court, is located on Trinity Lane. From here, the Avenue leads you across the river and over to Memorial Court. Castle Court is located on Chesterton Road, a few minutes cycle or short walk from Memorial Court and Old Court.
Please note, the College has a limited number of parking spaces at Memorial Court and Castle Court. Visitors to the College who require parking should contact the Porters by emailing porters@clare.cam.ac.uk. We will do our best to accommodate your request, though we regret that this may not always be possible.
